While studying dc circuits: study the equivalent resistance readings for the series circuits. can you come up with a rule relating the equivalent resistance (req) to the individual resistors in a series circuit with two resistors? can you do the same for a parallel circuit?

Asquare isothermal chip is of width w=5 mm on a side and is mounted in a substrate such that its side and back surfaces are well insulated; the front surface is exposed to the flow of a coolant at tinf=15 °c. from reliability considerations, the chip temperature must not exceed t=85 °c. if the coolant is air and the corresponding convection coefficient is h=200 w/m2 x k, what is the maximum allowable "power" of the chip? if the coolant is a liquid for which h=3000 w/m2 x k, what is the maximum allowable power of the chip?
